Mazzer Super Jolly V Up Electronic Espresso Grinder

The Super Jolly V Up Electronic puts a programmed dose in your basket without you holding anything. Push the portafilter against the activation pin and the grinder starts, runs the time you set, and stops. Your hands stay free for the next drink.

Three doses are programmable from the touchscreen, adjustable in 0.1 second steps, which works out to roughly 0.2 grams per step. Set a single, a double, and either a third dose or a manual override, then lock them behind a password so nobody dials them out mid-shift. Grind Flow Control sits at the outlet with three interchangeable wire dampers, so you can tune for a light Ethiopian or a dark Brazilian and keep the grounds in the basket instead of on the counter.

Underneath the touchscreen the fundamentals are unchanged. 64mm flat hardened high-carbon steel burrs, stepless micrometrical adjustment, and an aluminum die-cast body. It is the right main grinder for a small to medium cafe, and the right second grinder for a high volume bar that needs decaf or a single origin on its own burrs.
